The formula for the area of a triangle is A=12⁢b⁢h, where b is the length of the base and h is the height. Find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units.

Answer
A
5 units
B
3 units
C
8 units
D
9 units

Explanation

Use the triangle area formula A = ½bh. Substitute A = 30 and b = 12: 30 = ½(12)h = 6h, so h = 30 ÷ 6 = 5. The height is 5 units, which is choice A.
